Delta State has been thrown into mourning following the death of Chief Mrs. Shimite Winifred, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Trade and Export. The trade and economic expert reportedly died after a domestic altercation with her husband, Pastor David Favour, who is currently in police custody.
Winifred, who also served as the Coordinator of the Delta State UNIDO Centre, played a key role in implementing the Federal Government’s Social Investment Programme in the state. She was known for producing and presenting African Pot, a television documentary highlighting African cuisine, tourism, and culture.
Beyond her state engagements, she contributed to regional trade development as a member of the USAID/NEXTT Steering Committee.
